Peter's soldiers, now that victory was assured, were holding high revel of feasting and song and dancing. They received the new prisoner literally with open arms, and almost before she had wiped the tears from her eyes, at parting from her nurslings, she was capering gaily to the music of hautboy and fiddle, with the arm of a stalwart soldier round her waist. Suddenly, says Waliszewski, a fearful explosion overthrew the dancers, cut the music short, and left the servant-maid, fainting with terror, in the arms of a dragoon. Thus did Martha, the Siren of the Kitchen, dance her way into Russian history, little dreaming, we may be sure, to what dizzy heights her nimble feet were to carry her.
